Hydroelastic response of very large floating structure with a flexible line connection

Reducing Hydroelastic Response of Very Large Floating Structure: A Literature Review

“…These studies were concerned more on the hydroelastic behavior not hydroelastic reduction. Hydroelastic reduction of floating structure with semi-rigid connectors was studied by Furkawa et al [28], Khabakhpasheva and Korobkin [29], Kim et al [30] and Gao et al [31]. Khabakhpasheva and Korobkin modeled plate by an Euler beam and investigated the hydroelastic response reduction of a main floating beam by using an auxiliary floating beam.…”

“…Also they studied the effect of relative beam stiffness on hydroelastic response of two-floating beam system. Gao et al [31] studied the hydroelastic response of pontoon-type, very large floating structures with a flexible line connection. They also studied the effects of the location and the rotational stiffness of such a flexible line connection on the hydroelastic response.…”

Wave interaction with Floating platform of different shapes and supports using BEM approach

“…The approach is then extended to the case of thin plate (thickness to width ratio of a plate structure is less than 0.1) in waves, where the hydrodynamic effects are fully three dimensional. The alternative procedure of separating problem into diffraction and radiation components used universally for seakeeping analysis is extended for hydroelastic application by Bishop and Price (1979).Further, Gao et al (2011) studied the hydroelastic response of pontoon-type VLFS with a flexible line connection. Mindlin plate theory has been adopted to model the plate and inorder to decouple the fluid-structure interaction problem, the modal expansion method is adopted.…”

Hydroelastic analysis of oblique irregular waves with a pontoon-type VLFS edged with dual inclined perforated plates

“…The purpose of this device is to allow the auxiliary beam to move more so that the motion of main parts of the articulated floating structure is reduced. The proponents of this approach are Khabakhpasheva and Korobin [7], Fu et al [8], Riyansyah et al [9], Gao et al [10] and Zhao et al [11].…”
